THE SOURCES" OF DIVIDENDS.
THE SUBJECT FURTHER ILLUSTRATED.

The ways OF the Virginia agent when he
comes under the influence OF the Northwest
ern Mutual Life Insurance Company, strongly
resemble those OF Providence in their in
scrutability. In n late issue we illustrated the
penchant of Il firm of Norfolk agents to in
dulge in the easy and flowing style of the
quack medicine advertisements Then they
were Offering rewards to the extent of $3.50 for
every case that IL policy in the Northwestern
would not cure.
Now the same firm has taken another step,
and are advertising their principal as prof.

crmist's art. The newest literary production,

"Saved' is rather mild word to describe
the operation of paying 500 less on each
81 200 OF insurance than any one of four prom
inent companies; but the Northwestern seems
to like it, and so we use it too instead of en-
ploying the word which describes the first
process of the art of taXidcrmy. Insurance is
an article that every man desires shall reach
his family intact, and it cannot be II great
qualification to be told in fiaring type that the
company who olicits his patronage intends
to save 500 on each $1,000 OF insurance that it
carries. Even the famous "doublc DIVIDEND
which has already been several times "called

simply IA payment that in any other company
would have been made in the second year OF
membership.
But there is "anothcr source" from which

Correspondence Of the Appeal
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov -. There has
been quite an interesting and exciting
time in Nashville. The prohibitionists
had n very large convention. II was Il
very fine looking and intelligent body OF
men. Some thought they took extreme
ground, whilst others thought they were
exactly right.
Judge Robert Cantrcll, OF Lebanon,
made one OF the strongest and most argu-
montatvc speeches ever made in the State.
lie said lac would not 90 too last, and that
hc did not wish to force prohibition upon
the people against the wish Of the majority.
Tie advocated extending the four mile law
To towns, cities and taxing districts wher-
ever 10y a vote Of the people, they said
they desired IT, II is probable that both
political parties will agree To this, and, II
they Ito, there will hc no breaking up of
parties. Judge Cantrcll said many who
had voted against the amendment told
HIM they were willing to do this, and, IL
80, the matter could be arranged, for the
prohihitionists, though they desired more,
would agree 10 this II is probable IL will
hc arranged IN this way and no party dis
ntcgratcd, for these men say they do
not wish Ia form third party.
Nashville is improving rapidly, and II
1t could get the Midland railroad it
would soon have 10000 inhabitants aud
be one OF the largest manufacturing cities
IN the south, The Midland railroad
would take them into the great coal, iron,
marble, coal oil and gus wells on the east,
and the great iron regions on the west,
Instead oi tile building of the Midland
nad inlurng the Louisville x Nashville
aud Nashville x Chattanooga systems, IL
would benefit them. II would 80 much
increase the population and business of
Nashville that II would cause all the rail-
roads to do n great deal more than they
now do, and Ia make n great deal mora
money. That road, the Midland, would
he worth millions oi dollars io Nashville.

go about the streets carrying goat skins,
from which they offer water To thirsty
passcrs nj ~ much drink. As their
shrill voices proclaim the freshness and

siderable part Of the population Of Tangicr
They are mostly Of the deep black Guinea
type, brought from across the desert Of
Sahara, though sometimes uniortunates Of
other races are kidnapped and sold into
slavery. Public auctions are frequently
held Ia the main street oi the bazans, nj
which children can be purchased for from
sl2 10 $50, while full grown men and
women are sold at prices ranging from
$50 Ia 500. Masters have absolute power
over their slaves, even that Of life and
